Trevor Francis’ biggest claim to fame was that he shared the same birthday as me.

Trevor was in my fan club, or was it the other way round?

Used to keep track of him in the Football League Review. Remember that fellow oldies, the magazine inside the matchday programme?

In 1979 he became Britain's first £1m footballer on completing a transfer from Birmingham City to Nottingham Forest.

Died far too young.
Very sad Leon 😭

I loved Trevor Francis as a player, very classy finisher.

Him and Latchford were a proper handful.

Went on to greatness with Forest. :ok:

Very sad news.

Francis was a terrific player, James.

I had the pleasure of watching Trevor live when playing for Brum. Same with Bob Latchford, who scored a crazy amount of goals for Birmingham & Everton.
